NOT provide a way to over text on a jpeg. The number 1 thing for me is getting that text overlay on the image. Overlay on jpeg proofs > proofs to print lab > proofs to parents for orders > etc. Schools/underclassmen for yearbooks, etc. But rightnow, I'm leaning towards Lightroom.įor certain things ACDsee works best for me. Once it is released, I will try it out and make a final decision then. If they can get their raw development process improved, I think ACDSee Pro will be serious competition to Lightroom. I have heard that a new Version of ACDSee Pro built around the V9 engine is expected to be released sometime this year.
#LIGHTROOM VS ACDSEE PATCH#
Once Adobe gets a patch out that fixes my printing problems, I will be pretty happy with Lightroom. Though I REALLY like the feature set of the Lightroom Print module, frankly I get better more consistent results from ACDSee V8. I'm personally having serious printing problems with Lightroom. I prefer the Web tool and slide show capabilities in LR though neither is as good as ProShow Gold for slide shows.Ī lot of windows users are having trouble getting decent prints from Lightroom, however not ALL are having this problem. Lightroom is clearly superior as a raw developer and 'touch-up' editor for jpgs. I've been a long time user of ACDSee and am currently on ACDSee V8, and have purchased Lightroom because of its very superior raw capabilty.ĪCDSee is clearly superior as an organizer (no competition in my eyes,ACDSee is MUCH better). I tried the trial version of ACDsee Pro, and the raw results are just not up to the competition in my opinion. I have not been happy with the ACDSee V8 raw capability. Currently ACDSee Pro is built around the V8 engine (ACDSee V8), which of course is not the latest version of ACDSee proper (at V9).
